… our Prime Minister has contempt for the very process involved in the gathering of accurate statistics. He lacks sophistication about psychological illness as a significant contributor to individuals getting in trouble with the law, and seems uninterested in the causes of recidivism… / Given that longer sentences and more prisons have been demonstrated around the world to not only not deter crime but to be correlated with higher crime rates, and given that Harper is clearly not stupid, one can only conclude that he wants more crime.

This leaves our manufacturing unable to compete, so we lose hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs. Yet our governments do nothing about it because of the enormous influence the fossil fuel lobby commands. We can’t even get them to keep up with the green energy initiatives our major trading partners have already implemented… This myopia is going to leave us with neither manufacturing nor sellable resources.
